As you may have gathered if you’ve been reading my posts, I am NOT a fan of struggling with food and diets. I believe that eating keto is all about finding freedom with food. Being able to eat until satiety, enjoying your food, and finding your perfect health and weight. But I do know that…

Sugar is such a devious little thing. It wreaks havoc on our health while simultaneously providing huge amounts of pleasure and stimulation so that our brains quickly and easily become addicted to it. It provides false energy highs that can wear away at our adrenals. It is also incredibly ageing, bad for your teeth and…

I’ll be honest, when I used to hear people say ‘you have to love your body right now before you’ll be able to lose weight and get the body you want!’, it used to drive me crazy. Simply because I found it really hard to love those rolls of flab around my waist when I…

I decided it’s time to get brutally honest and talk about why eating keto is actually the suckiest thing ever. It’s time I came clean and told you the truth. There are certain hardships I am having to put up with and I think you deserve to know what these are. As such I am providing…

It took me a while to stop being scared of fats. I mean, a good few decades of learning that fats are the enemy will do that to you. I’m not the kind of person to dwell on regrets, but when I think back to the issues I had when I was young and on…

While there are many, many keto recipes out there for yummy looking meals, a lot of them take a fair bit of preparation or require specialist ingredients that you’re not necessarily going to have stocked in your pantry all the time. One of the key things for me in this keto way of life, is…

Taking the leap into a keto diet can feel like an enormous change, especially if, like me, you were brought up to believe that the low fat (high carb) diet was the healthiest way to eat. It took me a while to fully commit to eating keto because part of me just couldn’t believe that…

“Strive for progress, not perfection” However life-changing eating a keto diet may be, we don’t want it to change our lives to the extent that we aren’t doing things that we would otherwise enjoy. Eating out is a good example of this. I’ll admit, in the first couple of months of eating keto, I just…

I have always loved noodles and one of the first things I wanted to do when I started eating keto was to find a simple way to have noodles in my diet again! I tried various keto noodles and spiralising courgettes (zucchini), carrots and all manner of other vegetables. But nothing really gave me that slippery,…

One of the (for me) amazing benefits of eating a ketogenic diet is a dramatic decrease in appetite. For some people, this can be a little scary, though, certainly if you are someone that is used to feeling hungry or wanting to eat a lot of the time. For other people, it is a blessed…

If you are new to ketosis, you may find yourself somewhat puzzled by a couple of odd symptoms that can show up in the first few weeks. In short – the dreaded body odor and bad breath. Now, this can vary from person to person depending on what the state of your health is when…

I remember the moment where it clicked… Fat doesn’t make you fat! Fat doesn’t cause all these terrible things like obesity, heart disease and the like. The real culprit is sugar! When I was growing up my mother and father were strong advocates of the low-fat ‘healthy’ lifestyle. We ate low-fat margarine, low-fat yoghurts, and…

Nobody likes that feeling of being constipated. Feeling bloated and uncomfortable and sporting a semi-pregnant-looking belly. Feeling hungry but not wanting to eat because your tummy already feels so full. Constipation can make you feel lethargic, low and generally a bit crap. When you transition to a keto diet from one that has been high…

I have been eating a high fat, low carb diet for a while now and have reached an amazing place where I feel good, I’ve lost the excess fat that I was carrying around and, most importantly, I am never, ever EVER on a diet! I love the food I eat, and what’s more, sometimes…

You may have heard of the keto flu – you may even have experienced it! But for anyone who is, for the first time, transitioning to a low-carb, high-fat diet, the keto flu can hit you pretty hard. And if you don’t know what’s happening it can easily knock you off your stride. For me,…

I have had quite a few questions about counting macros on the keto diet so wanted to do a quick post about it! First of all, in case you aren’t aware, macros are fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. If you are eating a ketogenic diet then your macros are going to be something like 5-10% carbs,…

My ten-year-old son and I made some keto chocolates at the weekend and they’re absolutely delicious! I have tried various recipes and haven’t found one that I like yet, but this one really hit the spot. We made three different kinds (using three different chocolate molds). One type has a macadamia nut nestled in the…

We’re all busy women, and being able to fix a quick and easy (and delicious) keto snack is definitely a skill to have up your sleeve! The word ‘snack’, for me, used to be synonymous with ‘something you unwrap to eat’. Like a biscuit, some crackers, a piece of chocolate or some crisps. The ‘healthy’…

I have been a huge fan of collagen for a while now and try to take some most days. I have really noticed a difference in the health of my hair, skin, and nails since I have been doing this. It’s easy to use and full of good stuff. Here’s what you need to know:…

Finding success on a keto diet is a very individual journey. It’s not about rigid rules and eating perfectly every day. It’s about finding a way to eat that supports your health and body goals and makes you feel fantastic. So often, women embark on a keto diet and focus on following the rules as…

Welcome to the Ketogenic Diet for Women Blog!

This is where I write about all my experiences with the keto diet - specifically as it pertains to women. I have found that some women achieve greater success when they add carb cycling into their ketogenic diet and others fare better on strict keto. I cover both here.

I hope you enjoy the articles. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or comments.
